[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
If you walk through the Rundle Mall in Adelaide, don’t be surprised if you come across four very life like bronze pigs. Marguerite Derricourt, their sculptor did a remarkable job and they have become quite an Adelaide attraction. Their names are Horatio, Truffles, Augusta and Oliver. This is Oliver who spends his days looking for food.

Hi Debbie,
Yes a very strange bronze pig, like its brothers in the middle of the Mall... I might say that I don't really understand why they're here... but well I don't often understand art to be honnest ! But surely a big attraction seen the number of tourists taking photos with them !!! And this Adelaide mall is a nice place to be.
Talking about your photo I really like the POV making the pig almost alive.
Perhaps it would have been better with its whole ear (but that's a detail) and much less DOF to just let guess the environment.
Thanks for sharing,
Marion

On this place I've seen some people have a meeting about eating lamb !!! And advertisement I guess but it was so weird to see those people screaming "Eat lamb" with flags and signs in the neighbourhood of those pigs !!!

I was just in Adelaide and was indeed surprised to see such a sight in the mall. They're very effective and I like that your photo also captures the cute couple, tucked in the corner of the frame.

Hi, Debbie!
Nice pic, nice shot!
